Unstrung Nerves is now actively seeking contributions. Read more below.

One of the difficulties with the experiment that is Unstrung Nerves is that I’m starting essentially from scratch. I’ve written for established publications on occasion, but I have nothing like a reader base or anything. And, to be honest, I know nothing about running a publication of any kind. That’s why I call it an experiment. I’m making this all up as I go.

I started this site to publish the kind of writing I want to read, and while I could let it remain simply a personal blog, that’s not how I’ve envisioned Unstrung Nerves. That’s why I’m putting out this call for contributions to help me grow the site into the multi-author platform I imagined it to be at its inception. I won’t pretend this very new site has any readership whatsoever, but I am committed to paying for all contributions to this site.

So if you’re a writer looking for a place to start or you want to help me grow Unstrung Nerves, click here to send me a pitch. While I am open to many different angles and perspectives, please keep pitches film-related. I genuinely don’t know if soliciting contributions is the right call at this moment, but it’s the one I’m making. Thank you.
